There are other ways to…

There are other ways to density this city than to jeopardize our future and the one of our children.

The green belt and wetlands are currently protected for a reason, and from an environmental standpoint it makes absolutely no sense to get rid of them.

Not to mention that in doing so we would have to build more roads and urban sprawl away from the infrastructure this city and the province have already spent millions on developing.

Remove the height minimum on building downtown instead where services and amenities already exist. Allow for owners to build mini homes on their properties, change the city zoning to allow more duplexes and triplexes, make it so that the vacant units and condos that currently exist in the thousands get filled, but please oh please, as a mother of two young babies, protect the wetlands and greenbelt, protect their future and livelihood.

While I understand the importance of the housing crisis, the looming climate crisis is much bigger and will have much worse consequences on our collective future.

I know it may be difficult for you to think about a future beyond the one of your re-election 3-4 years from now, but if you care at all about the younger generations, please I am begging you not to spoil the only green we have left.
